Recently in MiNDS> we have been experiencing problems with some of the servers. Instead of continuing to patch it up, we are taking the opportunity now to rebuild major parts of the hosting network. As a result we will have bigger, faster hardware and a more stable & secure system.

Also as part of this work we will be doing some clean up of user data. Many users have websites that are vulnerable and in some cases even compromised. We'll starting a new policy that all users will have to ask for web space and we will have a more strict security regiment. Any website found to be compromised or to be using out of date version of software (e.g. wordpress, phpbb ) will be packaged up and removed from public view, pending further investigation.
